I am so very close to being done! I just entered my buy links, however and am getting display issues again. I did research the previous assistance you rendered here:

http://support.mintjoomla.com/en/cobalt-7/questions/Automatically +add+affiliate+code+to+link+from+form-2836.html

I have attached the url output template which contains the following:

value; $options = $this->params->get('params.open_url', 1) ? ' target="_blank"' : ''; echo JHtml:: link('http://' . $value[0]['url'].'?tag=romautjudrai-20', "

It is rendered in the default article template as:

fields_by_id[12]->result; ?>

The article displays this:

Is there perhaps some change with Cobalt 8 that I'm not aware of?

Many thanks,

Jude

It was the fields I changed from text field to url field not type. I think, however, that it may be a problem with the url field. I set the output template to default and not my custom template and it still displays the string and the link between " "

I also tried using a straight url, e.g. http://judahraine.com and it did the same thing. I don't think it's the changed code at all.

I'm at my wits' end here, and am willing to pay to have this issue resolved, though I purchased the url field specifically to create these buy links. Please let me know what it will cost, and how I should make payment. I am due to launch this weekend and simply have to have this in place. It's a critical feature of the site, and my members will not participate without them. Thanks!

Just to advise that this has been resolved, with some help from a php forum. It seems the url field automagically adds the http:// which resulted in duplication and broken link. I deleted that from the template and it's working fine.
